Superlagg: A human-like program. Tim found Superlagg in a narrow escape from the Vernichten Sie. Superlagg is currently inside what looks like a large cell phone. Superlagg, along with having near-human intellect, can use any extensions of whatever he is programmed into. In this case he is inside a cell phone and can make and receive calls.

IV81: The second-in-command of the Vertichten Sie. IV81, despite hunting Tim, has an admiration for him, although this could be due to him being insane. Not much is currently known about IV81.

Evil Tim: A (somewhat) evil god. He is the narrator of the story and is constantly watching Tim, occasionally appearing before Tim either to help him or to impede his progress. His true motives are unknown. Evil Tim wears a purple pimp suit and carries a pimp cane. Despite similar names, Tim and Evil Tim are not related much in any way.
